By noon, 15/20 of the drives had been plugged into computers by employees
curious to see what was on them, and the enclosed autorun scripts had reported
in.

Other than holding down the shift key, is there a way to permanently
disable autoruns?

YES!

Do a google with your particular OS and that question. It is
actually a registry change/entry, but there are prebuilt
regs files around for it. I believe TweakUI can do it too,
but again, make sure you get the version to go along with
your OS.
